About This Game

In the first game you will battle alien forces intent on wiping out the Human civilization. As a soldier you will use various vehicles and defend vital bases on Earth against the invaders' forces. In the second one you will become a soldier of the alien species and protect your home world from the forces of the Human armada.

Both games were famous for fast-paced action, hordes upon hordes of enemies and incredible, cool and satisfying gameplay – this pack is perfect both for hard core action shooter gamers and “Sunday school” casuals. Tons of fun included.

Thankfully the original Incoming is included as well and that still holds up now. "Forces" sucked then as it does now, don't bother with that. The original Incoming has awesome atmosphere, tense music and fun and straight forward action where you fight off waves. You control a different type of vehicle in each Phase, which is one of the things that make the original game so awesome! The controls are a little clunky and oversensitive on Keyboard which a Joystick or Gamepad would rectify but I don't have a Joystick these days and my Gamepad did not work. Graphically it looks worse now than it used to, not necessarily because of aging (though that too) but because I can't use my native resolution and I could swear it used OpenGL or nGlide or something to smooth things out while now it looks more like it's software renderer. In other words it makes the game needlessly blurry and pixelated compared to the original gaming experience back then. I wish there'd be a HD Version of this, or a Remake though whoever does that probably messes it up with useless modern details and mechanics. All in all, I recommend for short bursts of retro fun!

oh 1990s how i missed you yes im that old i remember playing this game before the dawn of the 21st century beleve it or not these graphics were the best the 1990s had to offer still tame by todays standards but also still a fun game to play personal rating 8/10

In this one you play an alien going around in a hovercraft destroying enemy human tanks and other human targets. Rudimentary weapons. Clunky gameplay. Graphics are dated. Pick it up in a bundle only (like I did)...

I bought this for the bundled Incoming original game honestly, and I don't regret it. The game works fine on windows 7, no major or minor bugs yet. Just don't alt tab seems that breaks something in the coding.Its still the good old game it was. The graphics are dated admitedly and the resolution will bother some people but if you're here for the nostalgia trip and good gameplay you will find what you're looking for.

Comment:First I will mention the bundled Incoming game, the parent of Incoming Forces. It was an amazing game at the time it came out and was lots of fun. You play as a human soldier defending Earth from aliens. However it aged pretty badly, not only in graphics sector but in compatibility. While I was able to run the game I always had some upper bar or other obstruction over the top of the game screen. On top of that the controls are terribly clunky especially with mouse so just go full keyboard control instead. So perhaps try it out but move on to the much better sequel incoming Forces where this time you are in control of an alien pilot. The story is not complex but somewhat cute and quite enjoyable. The range of vehicles expands, you get to control turrets, tanks, artillery and a range of air fighters. Missions are replayable separately and have a High Score system. The transition between vehicles is really smooth and controls are great. The graphics are a bit clunky but that does not matter. However only 16 (mostly short) missions is not much. Overall a fun shooter with a big range of vehicles and nice (although cheesy) story. Recommended.

If you want this just for the original game "incoming" you will be dissapointedthe incoming forces works great, and is even avavible with 1080p resolution, but the game that i wanted the most, the original incoming is just a half ♥♥♥♥♥ port, and there are better incoming mods that fix the game better than this.the only thing they managed to get right was the 60 fps cap, that the other mods did just as good

i would recomend it though for the people that wants incoming forces, which i have not tried yet

(a fix) when you first launch the original incoming, the game will be in a 800*600 resolution i think, but by doing "-screenmode" at the end of your shortcut target you can accualy change it up to 1024 * 768 16-bit, or 1024 * 768 32-bit

i have changed this post satus as i have found a fix for windows 7 that will let you play incoming (the free game) look on forum for windows 7 z buffer fix i still recomend this game and still stand by what i said about about incoming forces being a good game and at sale price of £3.49 its a bargain see my thred for fix http://steamcommunity.com/app/283390/discussions/0/558749824442851126/

Now this game, I only bought it for the original Incoming as many others did as well, so I will review the first game as i didn't bother to play much into Forces.

Short review: Just get it if you like fast paced Arcade Shooters with an okay story.

Long review: The game itself is a pretty straight forward Attack/Defense game where you can control various air and ground vehicles, and sometimes also can control several units in a strategy minigame in the story. While the Arcade mode is what the name says, just flying around with an airplane and collecting points. Imagine the game being 'Alien Invaders' with 3D graphics and more variation on vehicles to choose from. The story btw is nothing which will blow you away, just the generic 'Aliens invade Earth' story, but the way the gameplay works here, i recommend a gamepad, best experience, and your triggers won't work if you play with xbox pad, but other than that you don't need much buttons anyways.

I have mixed feelings about this game. Its a good classic shooter for its time where as you've got 3 types of vehicles to choose from, with the slight repetive missions it seems like the best Classic Shooter for its time. Honestly I thought we were going to play an FPS as a soldier but I guess I kinda read "Ground Forces" wrong but hey, it still seemed Ok. Now I'm not recommending it because most people would find it repetitive and ongoing with the same thing over and over again as well with the massive jumps in diffilculty that is just insane, Easy is too easy but Medium changes everything to the point where it would be hard and hard would be insaner so its really hard to get what you enjoy. But if your into Classic shooters, I'm all for it!
